The whole thing of being charged for…
The whole thing of being charged for the entire month regardless of what day in the month you subscribe is absolute BS.

Double charges if patrons sign up on 1st of month in their own timezone.
I wish I could give it no stars. Basically I'm a UK creator and my UK patron signed up in the 1st of the month in our country after deleting a pledge on the 28th of the previous month. Instead they upgraded my patron's pledge from the previous month and then charged him for the current month on the same day at the same time, all because my patron pledged on the 1st of the month OUR time, not their time. Even though all of our payment history says 1st of the month. And to make matters worse, ...

Creators avoid
Customer services don't respond. As a creator I came across a copyright theft issue. I notified Patreon and they ignored it. For a creator centred platform that's a big sin. I'm sure some of my money has disappeared, but in true Patreon style, they've not responded to my concerns. Creators avoid

Customer Service staff are unresponsive or poorly informed
Customer Service staff are unresponsive. It takes days to receive any response. Several times, the content of the response is that the problem is on my end, not theirs. Verification SMS sometimes don't happen at all, though the site says it is sending them when I try to log in. I get no email notice when they are going to "close the ticket," but when I follow up, they say, "oh, we closed that ticket," as an explanation for why the problem was not solved. For my last problem, they gave a pat ...
